Chai matcha latte // teapigs matcha challenge

The teapigs matcha challenge couldn't have come at a better time, I woke up this morning to a swollen throat and an inability to swallow... Meh!

So I'm taking a challenge to have teapigs matcha powder in some form for two weeks and see how I feel at the end of it. I'll be doing a review post at the end of the two weeks but for now I'll be bringing you all the recipes I make along the way.

The first is a chai inspired matcha green latte, this was so yummy!!! 

So here's what you need: 

• 1/2 tsp teapigs matcha powder

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon 

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg 

• 1/2 tsp brown sugar

• 200ml milk (any kind) 

• add 50-100ml water if you want 

Personally I prefer to heat this on the hob. So I put all the ingredients into a pan and heat to a boil. Keep stirring it, Once it boils turn down the heat a little and keep it simmering for a few minutes. 

Then fill a mug 1/3 full with the mixture and use a electric whisk to froth up the milk. Then add the rest of the milk into your mug. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar. 

It tasted so good! Different to any other drink or latte I've made before but a great way to have my daily green tea :) 

I hope this inspires you and if you're doing the matcha challenge too then be sure to say hey to me in the comments or over on Twitter!
